Description

By speaking eloquently on the subject of your opponents’ ineptitude in combat, past failures, personal hygiene, or other faults, you sap their will to fight.

If cast as a full-round action, it takes effect 1 round after its casting. Enemies with 4 Hit Dice or fewer are panicked, enemies with 5–8 Hit Dice are cowering, and enemies with more than 8 Hit Dice are shaken.
